W. rEAKOUCO. COMLT fc PBiNCISCO, PUBLISHERS AND PROPRI RTORB. JAMES n. COMLY Editor. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY The Dayton Journal is a great deal of an organ these days. Itpontn for Gunckel. "The Heir of Malreward" is one of the beat Novels of the season. For sale by Gleason. . "The' origin of the lire wasfire-crackers." The papers for Sunday and Monday are full of it. Two hundred thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed and over a hundred families made homeless in Allegheny City Saturday, by a fire which originated from a fire-cracker thrown by a boy. "So Fair and Yet So False" is the American title of an extremely sensational French story, "Pourquoi," published by Carleton (for sale by Hubbard & Jones). There is nothing whatever in the romance, except its narrative, which is dramatic and exciting from the first word to the lust page. There was some very stupid mismanagement in the recent racing season at Columbus. We have avoided comment, in the partially realized hope that our city papers might secure the success of the "meet" in spite of such 'mismanagement. It would be well, however, before another reason, to get rid of some windy blowhards who will be the last to properly locate the blunders, or learn from their own stupidity. The State Journal loves boys as well as any other seventythree year old newspaper can ; but the State Journal votes with both hands for this, from the Cincinnati Commercial : "The nuisance of firecrackers in the streets, which has heretofore been tolerated for a few days before and after the Fourth of July, ought to be abated at once. Its continuance ought to be punished with heavy penalties, if the guilty parties are caught, especially when life and limb are both endangered." The Democratic committee of Wayne county has declared against the proposed new Constitution, and made a partisan question of its adoption, and the Cincinnati Enquirer calls upon the Democracy in all of the other countieB to follow the euro pie, adding: "It has been clearly shown to be a partisan Constitution the design of which is to give the Republi-cans a majority in the General Assembly for all time to come, even when they are largely in the minority. The Legislative Apportionment with its unequal system no Democrat can sustain either in policy or principle. There are other things equally objectionable in it. It will be a dark day for the Democracy of Ohio when the new Constitution is put upon them." There is one important rule which should govern all of that large class of persons who feel disposed to appear in the public press in the character of censor. And that is this: The time for caution in all such cases is, before the attack is made. There are plenty of persons who charge with the elan of the Six Hundred and who suddenly become oppressed with prudential considerations when they discover that such charges provoke a return fire. TheBe prudential considerations, in such cases, come too late. Any writer with a proper capacity for forecast, will exhaust all such considerations before opening the assault. If he finds his courage weakening before the prospect of resistance or counter-assault, he had better join the baggage train. A mono the many accidents of the Fourth in Cincinnati, continued in Mon day's Commercial, we find the following : "A very distressing fatal accident happened on the evening of the Fourth at f. t t w ti. T n:-.. 1- rtt tne noma 01 mr. joiin i. nan, in sieves township. Mr. Piatt had returned from Washington the day before, and arrange ments had been made to have a little display of fireworks on the grounds lor the entertainment of his own and neighboring children. Mr. Piatt's son, a lad of ten or twelve years, had procured for himself a vial of powder.and in the dusk of the evening, as everything waa in progress for tbe pyrotechnic display, this powder waa exploded. The lad was stunned for a moment, but jumping up, exclaimed to niMUIV Uin IUVIUCI. , A 111 IU, U VII lj and immediately fell, the blood streaming profusely from his neck. An examination showed that a piece of the glass had entered the neck, severing the 'jugular vein. Another piece grazed the temple, another made a flesh wound in the chin. A physician was summoned post haste. i.:. in. k.. but before he arrived the boy was dead. In this sudden and great affliction the sympathies of thousands will go out to tbe disconsolate parents." "Words, words, words." The tongue of an archangel would sound but idle babble in tbe dumb amazement of each grief as the parents of this bright little hero must have felt. The Cincinnati Commercial laya itself out laboriously to establish the proposl tion that unchecked freedom of utterance by the press, and complete publio acru tiny into acts, measures and men, const! tute true republicanism; and it really pretends to believe that somebody objects to having public officers amenable to popular criticism in the newspapers, to re buke for official mistake, and to personal denunciation for what the people do not like. We venture to say that there is not a newspaper nor a man in America who will object to any fair and truthful criti cism of publio officers there is not an honest publio officer in America who does not invite such criticism. That which all honorable men object to is, that men of little knowledge and less character are employed by great newspapers in the most responsible work of reviewing National affairs; and that such men, through misconception, or a desire to' produce a Bensation, or from downright malice and mendacity, invent lies by thecolumn about public men lies which have not the remotest shadow of resemblance to truth, and 'which yet will travel leagueB while Truth puts his boots on. It is a weaK ana at me same uuie an atrocious thing for tbe Commercial to charge as it does that all "political organs" are base and servile flatterers of party men, and have no just criticism for the corrupt men or measures of party. The political organs of the country have given us much of the most potent criticism which the Commercial boasts of as the exclusive product of the Independent press. We will undertake to prove from the columns of the Commercial itself, that it has already admitted the fact as to tbe very instances given by it, that not one eingle "party organ" in the country had been found to defend the official dereliction of the persons named by it. It is uncandid for the Commercial writer to contradict the rec ord of his own journal in that style, and it is stupid to the last degree to lend him self to the vulgar pretenses and abuses of the booby presB like the New York Her ald which has just one faculty: the "old maid" faculty of running its nose into every affair, and telling more than all it knows about it. The party press, so far as it is controlled by men of sense and discretion, must work upon the assumption that the very existence of its party depends upon its own free exercise of the right to criticise the acts and measures of the public officers of its party. To hold otherwise is to iiiBult the honesty and intelligence of the people. If the people are honeBt and intelligent the party must be honest and its public officers must be honeBt, therefore its newspapers mnst be intelligent in crit icism and unsparing in invective against dishonest men who may have crept into public office through false pretenses. To read the Commercial's extraordinary article, one would suppose that any party organ (and party editors are always, by the same authority, the lowest of created beings in intelligence and manhood) has it in its power to gull Ihe people into supporting the worst men for office, and finds its interest in advocating party blunders and official misconduct of all kinds, for the success of the party. Tbe truth is, that party organs (and postmaster editors) find the only safety of the party in a rigid censorship of its acts and the acts of its public officers. They object, not to honeBt criticism from any quarter, but to dishonest lying from all quarters. They object to having newspapers which acknowledge no guidance but the will of some one man, and which are the mere exponents of his inhrmities or his strength, set themselves up as the only honest and public spirited journals in the country. Such a claim asserts in substance that the personal interest of one man, devoted to the business of journalism confessedly and solely as a mercantile venture, is a safer guide than the creed of a party, banded together for for the accomplishment of some great policy or the triumph of some great principle. If the party editor is true to his vocation he is more bound to honest criticism than the personal or "independent" editor, by just so much as that superiority of motive meas ures : If the lofty aims of a party, working for an assumed public good, are higher than the mere money-grubbing selfishness of a personal struggle for com mercial success in journalism, then the party editor has the higher and greater inducement, even if we consider the ques tion wholly as one of succeeB and good management for his party. The "inde pendent" organs are unconscious of the fact and cannot be made conscious of it that when they claim henesty on the score simply of disconnection from party, they are not putting the matter upon any higher plane than that of mere commer cial value. They will be honest if hones ty pays be3t that is all it amounts to. They will be governed entirely by success. Their creed is that the best newspaper is the one that pays best. We should like an honest answer to one plain question Did jou ever know one of these "independent" newspapers to be sinking its subscription list and ruin ing its owners by battling for the success of an unpopular matter of principle T What "independent" paper ever attacked slavery, in the old days when papers attacking slavery were excluded from the Southern mails, and when their offices were gutted and their editors sometimes murdered ? It waa the parly organs that fought for liberty then, just aa they have fought for every popular principle which has ever finally triumphed in America. Your "independent" journals come in with their cheerful observations after the "party" is strong enough to win elections and distribute patronage. Or, if they ever fight for a new party, it is such a mobilization of all the malcontents and soreheads aa the "Liberal" venture of 1872, and it has for its only object, as that had, the capture of the spoils. Pecuniary success is the great first cause and final great reward of "independent"journalism. Hire we have it. Mrs. Amea thinks Ohio sends the handsomest men to Wash' inirton. We hone she bases her opinion on the law that "Handsome is that hand some does." Toledo Blade. But suppose you base it upon appear ance. Take the Blade's member, General Sherwood, then come this way, pick up Foster, then Monroe, then Parsons, and then Garfield. These are fine looking men. We suppose Mrs. Amea was'speak-ing of Northern Ohio. She did not say that Ohio sends her handsomest men to Congress. Not by any means, so long as there are some we know of who are not in Congress, but she said that Ohio sends the handsomest men to Washington; tbat is, the handsomest men in Congress are from Ohio. Cleveland Herald. You talk like a blessed old baldheaded angel. But your acquaintance in Central Ohio seems limited. We should like to see a handsomer man than our Jewett, Then there are Sayler and Banning from Southern Ohio. Then, also, they have Sprague, and there is a proBpect of getting Durbin Ward. , ... PERSONS AND THINGS. The man who went to sleep on the railroad track found bis rest was a good deal broken and his leg, too. Quicksilver has been discovered in tbe mountains back of Boralitos, Santa Cruz county, Cal. Claims bave been located and a company has been formed to work one of them. These are the days when cherries are ripe, and you see small boys coming over board fences like lightning, and hear something strike "bang I" against the other side of the fence, just after they get over. "White coal" is the latest Australian discovery. It consists of felted cabbage fibres, like peat, which contain, interspersed between them, fine grains of sand. It is easily combustible, and burns with a bright flame. A French editor, anxious to show his knowledge of American history, gives the following account of the battle of Bunker Hill : "On the 17th of June, 1775, the American volunteers, commanded by Gen eral Artemus Ward, attacked and thoroughly beat the British troops near Charleatown, in Massachusetts !" The Prince of Wales at the recent din ner of the Benchers of tbe Middle Temple, ate his potatoes without peeling them. The circumstance has profoundly stirred the aristocratic circles of the British capital, as his Highness's aversion to potato skins is one of the most familiar facts of English history. Brooklyn Argvs. A gentleman living in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, under the influence of wine, undertook to kiss a couple of young ladies againBt their will. They retreated to the kitchen, whither he followed ; anl in bis Btruggle to get into the room, one of his legs caught in the door, and the excit ed young ladies amputated 11 Wltli a Baw. It was a wooden leg. A Brooklyn writer on street car cour tesies holds this opinion : "To vacate your place for every young thing who en ters who has been on a visitor shopping, and who will doubtless dance a hall dozen sets after she gets home is not gal-antry, but the air of an ntTecled fop or downright fool, and will never be per formed by a sensible man who tins done a hard day's work." A Chicagoan, whore heart is with Beecher, writes: "I want to see some comment on that business enterprise which caused an advertisement to be in serted in many newspapers to the effect that The Golden Age, containing a full account of its owner s domestic wrongs at the hands of Henry Ward Beecher, would be mailed from the publication office to any address on the receipt of ten cents I" The Hon. L. D. Wood worth, Repre sentative in Congress from the Seventeenth Ohio District, was renominated without opposition on Wednesday last. Mr. Wood worth had previously served two or three terms as a member of tbe Ohio Legislature, and isa rising man. In Congress he has been noted for his industry and faithful attention to business, which are the verv best qualities for a legislator. This Indorsement will accord him an ex cellent position in the House, and he well deserves it. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Here are a couple of conundrums which we find in the Evansville Journal, and pass along to our friends who are rusticating and have plenty of time to guess them : "How many of us yearn to pen etrate tbe inscrutable, and repair to the open vastitudes of the country to question the blue vaults studded with golden drops, or to hold the ocean of spirit with in us in communication with the expanse without? What! Shall the man who looks forward to his sumptuous repast detect the impress of the Infinite in the aroma of the water or the gigantic sigh- mgs of the forest? The romantic young son of a wealthy Chicago hotel proprietor, who married an actress and ran off with her to San Fran cisco, is in trouble. Some scoundrel had opened the trunks of the errant pair, ex tracted the gorgeous wedding apparel with which the expected to make a shine in the Golden City, and left nothing in their place but the smutted overalls and black ened shirt of some railway engineer or brakeman, a pile of old miner a clothes, cowhide boots out at the toes, and a hat without a rim. Masculine profanity, feminine shrieks, and a lawsuit resulted from the discovery. A professional gambler in Chicago recently "bucked the tiger" for fifty straight hours without pause for sleep or refreshments, and managed in that time to lose $11,900. The case is, perhaps, without a parallel. Though men have done many things for twentyfouror thirty hours at a stretch, no case ia before recorded of so long a labor. It shows, also, aa the Times remarks, "the absorbing power of gaming. One watching by the bedside of a dying- child would succumb in less than that period. A man who has the certainty of living but hMy hours would probably spend onefonrth of it in sleep, and would give due attention to his food. One escaping from a deadly foe would not fly for so long a time wilhont snatching now and then a momentary rest In short, one can conceive of no other circumstances in which a man would give fifty hours to a single task circumstances more especially which should tear the chie' actor with hope and fear, and harass him incessantly with the operation of the moat destructive emotions." NEW CONSTITUTION. Opinions of the Ohio Press Thereon The Ashland Times (Rep.) votes "yes." The Medina Gazette opposes license, but is silent as to other provisions. The Ashland Press (Dem.) goes against Ihe Constitution, and pronounces it a Iraud. - The Painesville Telegraph advises a carelul perusal of the document, out ex presses an opinion. The Manchester Gazette opposes license but expresses no opinion aa to the Const! tution. Oberlin News ditto. The Clyde Independent quotes and in dorses the Cincinnati Enquirer's reasons lor opposing the Constitution. The Mt. Vernon Banner (Dem.) aays the new Constitution will be the worst defeated candidate that ever ran in Ohio. The Norwalk Experiment opposes be cause, among other reasons, it "decidedly objects to the proposition to hold State elections but once in two years." The Holmes County Farmer, the editor of which has been at painB to figure on the matter, savs the people of Ohio will save three hundred thousand dollars a year by voting down the new Constitution. The Rrvan Preaa savs it mav be true as alleged, that the new Constitution is no better than the old, but this is owing to the fact that the old one was not susceptible of much improvement. "Still," says the Press, "so far as we are ante t j judge. the chances proposed are for the better, and the labors of the Convention merit the approval of the people." The Sidney Democrat commends the E revision that elections Bhall take place ut once in two years, and says if the new Constitution shall be adopted this ar rangement will save $25 for each election precinct, of winch there are ZoUU in the S ate, making a total saving of $62,000. The Bellefontaine Republican adds that the item of expense mentioned by the Democrat is only a drop in the bucket, compared with the time lost, in attending elecliona, and the expense of campaigns. To sum up, the attitude of one hun dred newspapers of the State with respect to the new Constitution, is, at the present date, as follows: FOR. Ohio Democrat, Dem., License.

Mr. B'echer b tr ends have a right to demand the whole letter. All I can say now is that that letter can be explained and will be. It has nothing to do with the so-called Woodhull-Tilton scandal. It re fers to a matter wholly outside of it and one open to the amplest explanation. When all the tacts come out tbe public will be more astounded than they are now excited. Mr. Beecher can explain any paper that any man holds ot his, and ex plain it in harmony with bis integrity-and honor.

Loss estimated at about $6000, upon which there was no in' su ranee. There- has been great destruction to fences and other property along this line of this road, owing to the excessive hot and dry weather. CASUALTY. Railway Train Wrecked Filly For- , soue Iujured. Stont Cheek, Conn., July G. A train from Connecticut River for New Haven, ran off the bridge below this place this morning. Superintendent W. M. Wilcox jumped from the train and was killed by cars tailing on him. Ihe baggage car and five passenger cars went off; three of them are bottom up. As nearly as can he ascertained seven tyeight persons were more or lestKnjured, but most of them by bruises. Superintendent Wilcox was the only one who jumped from the train, and ne alone, so lar as Known, was Killed. A young man was found beside Wilcox, under the car, but he is only bruised. Superintendent Reed is here with a large force of men, clearing away tbe wreck. The rear car was first to leave the track. The whole train went oil' excepting the engine.Various rumors are utloat as to the cause of the accident, the most probable being that the switch was turned before the last car left it. The bridge is about ten feet high. Six physicians are on the ground attending the sufferers. livery car of the train was overturned. The engine is partly upright. Tiie accident waa caused by a switch being mis placed before the whole train had passed, throwing the last truck from the track. Second Dispatch. New Haven, July 6. The facts are now ascertained to be as follows: The switchman at the west end of the bridge, while the train waa passing over his switch, became impatient and placed the switch back before the train had passed. SUMMER CYCLONES. At ai,m. 'pit Jersey. Philadelphia. Julv 0 On Saturday evening a hurricane visited Salem, N. J., unroofing buildings, tearing up fruit trees and damaging crops. Mil I ford's hay house was entirely demolished and Cunn & Hunt's oilcloth factory was unroofed. After the storm the streets were almost impassable from the presence of broken tree limbs and other neons. At ftavannnh, KeorKla. Savannah, July 0. A cyclone passed over this city last night, teuring up trees and unroofing houses. The grand Bland at the Fair grounds was destroyed. FKANC'E. MINISTERIAL CRISIS IMMINENT. Paris. July U Excitement runs high at Versailles. The Legitimist deputies to the number of It 0 have decided to vote against the Ministry to-morrow. They have drawn up an order of the day censuring the Government for its misuse of powers conferred by a state of siege, avoiding any mention of the manifesto of Count de Chambord or of tbe suppression of L' Union, so as to secure the sup port of the Left. The position of the Min istry is critical. It is thought that some changes will be unavoidable. Even if the counter coalition in favor of Pereire's bill should succeed the silting of the Assembly to-morrow may possibly re suit in a dissolution unless the fear of such a step should restrain apponents of the Government. The funeral of M, De Goulard took place to-day. BON. GEORGE BANCROFT has arrived in Paris and will leave for London Wednesday. He visitedex-President Thiers to-day.

How Mules l ame Into Fashion. Few of the farmers of this country are aware what a depth of gratitude they owe George Washington for the introduction of mules into general use for farm pur poses. Previous to 1783, there were very few, and those of such an inferior order as to prejudice farmers againBt them as unfit to compete with hsrses in work upon the road or tarm. Consequently there were no jacks; but Washington became convinced that the introduction of mules generally among Southern planters would prove to them a great blessing, as they are less liable to disease, and longer lived. and work npon shorter feed, and are much less liable to be injured than horses by careless servants, As soon as it became known abroad that the illustrious Washington desired to stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules, the King of Spain sent him a jack and two jennets, from the Royal stables, and Lafayette sent another jack and two jennets from the island of Malta, The first was a gray color, 16 hands high, heavily made, and of sluggish nature. He was named the Royal Gift. The other was named tbe Knight of Malta; he was about as high, lithe, fiery, even to ferocity. Ihe two different sets of animals gave him the most favprable opportunity of making improvement by cross-breeding the result of which was the favorite jack. Compound, because he partook of the best points in both the originals. X lie ueneral bred bis blooded mares to these jacks. even taking those from his family coach for that purpose, and produced such superb mules that the country was all agog to breed some of the sort, and they soon became quite common. This was the ot ign of improved mules in the Unit ed States.

A Colorado Pony. Yesterday, says a Southern Colorado paper, we saw a roan, a woman, a good-siaeil Imr, two bibies, five or six blankets a bulUlu lube, and twu strings of chili on a single pony. Every available inch from Ins ears to the root of his tail was "taken." Tbe poor animal was very small; thin as a towel rack; of a sickly pale color, and one fore leg was about five inches shorter than the other the knee joint of that leg waa very large, and we supposed that the missing Eart of tbe leg waa driven in there y the weight above, so that when it was relieved the leg would stretch out again like a turtle's head. In fact, nearly all his legs were short, and the crookedest convention of legs that we ever saw. laken altogether it was the most amusing hone and load we ever saw. Incred ible as it may seem, the wirv little ani mal passed us on a trot. When he came down on that short lee, and the familv "kerplumped" with it, it would have made the oldest man living laugh. Both the children were sleeping soundly, for the motion of the bom served all the purposes of cradle.

The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has issued tbe following circular relative to the treatment of horses during the heated term : The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would call attention to Buttering horses and mules in our Btreets during the hot season, and recom mend to drivers and others having animals under their cure the most considerate treatment, it would also recommend feeding a small bundle of wet hay or a couple quarts of oats in the middle of the day : use but little corn, as it is verv heat ing, and soak whatever is used in salt water for twenty four hours before feeding; to use the wet sponge on the head ; to furnish a little drinking water as often as practicable, when not over-heated, and as a further means of refreshing the animal. throw water upon the legsand such parts as are liable lochale by perspiration or otherwise; to driveslowly and lessen the load usually imposed in cooler weather; lo loosen the check-rein, or better, dis pense with it altogether; to cover the animal with a fly-net, or, preferable, with a light sheet. 1 he tallowing preparation is recommended for animals suflering from being over-heated : To one pint of water put one ounce of chloride of ammonia; one ounce of sweet spirits of nitre; one drachm tincture of aconite; give a table-spoonful every hour or two. On the passenger railroad lines the society would advise driving even walking, even when the weather is oppressive; to use the sponge aa above recommended, and to have men at proper distances along the line lo water the animals; to keep them shaded when practicable, and to provide extra horses to relieve the load on up grades. One of the best methods for cleaning whiit lace is to wash and rinse carefully t ll IV! 1 1 IT h n IIP I II lu. rftliBdnna lf . tlMi.. nudi of toft water and fine toilet voap.

Eural Southerner. The following recipe for destroying bugs and cucumber vines has been successfully tried for years. It is certainly worth atrial: Dissolve a tensponnful of saltpetre in a pailful of wa'er. Put one pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not spread much, and the thing is dono. Use more saltpetre if you can afford it. It is good for vegetables, but death to animal life. The bugs burrow in the earth at nhilit, and fail to rise iu the morning. It is alao good to kill the grub in peach trees, only use twice as much say a quart or two to . each tree. There was not a yellow nor blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to ' which it was applied last Beason. No danger of killing vegetables with it. A concentrated solution applied to young Deans mattes them grow wonderfully. The pretty rice paper that looks so pure and delicate is made in China from the pith of a tree; not at all aa we make paper from poplar wood, but by simply cutting it into thin slices. And thousands , of years before Moses was born the Egyptians made paper from the grea papyrus, or paper reed, by carefully peeling out the thin layer between the bark and the fleshy stem, and pressing and drying the pieces into sheets. ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. A Valuable Preen to ihe Aicrienl. tural College. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The Buckeye Manufacturing company, of Akron, Ohio, of which firm John R. Buchtel esq,, formerly a trustee of the Agricultural College, is a member, has prevented to the College a new Buckeye combined reaper and mower. The machine was immediately put to active service in a field of wheat on the College farm, where its work proved to be in the highest degree satisfactory. The i.r. r n. D..wa is very light, so that the team, while cutting, walked at their usual pace, apparently without effort. The platform is easily 'lowerid or raised by a hand-lever to adjust the rutting tu lodged or standing grain. Miller's improved table rake clears the platfc rm at the will of the driver and delivers the gavel absolutely without twist and in the beBt posBihle form for binding. As a reaper the Buckeye makes little noise, is not affected by the wind,wok admiiahly in lodged grain and i easily changed to a mower. In short, tbe Buckeye u a success. . N. 8.

"The Heir of Malreward" is one of the beat Novels of the season. For sale by Gleason. . "The' origin of the lire wasfire-crackers." The papers for Sunday and Monday are full of it. Two hundred thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed and over a hundred families made homeless in Allegheny City Saturday, by a fire which originated from a fire-cracker thrown by a boy. "So Fair and Yet So False" is the American title of an extremely sensational French story, "Pourquoi," published by Carleton (for sale by Hubbard & Jones). There is nothing whatever in the romance, except its narrative, which is dramatic and exciting from the first word to the lust page. There was some very stupid mismanagement in the recent racing season at Columbus. We have avoided comment, in the partially realized hope that our city papers might secure the success of the "meet" in spite of such 'mismanagement. It would be well, however, before another reason, to get rid of some windy blowhards who will be the last to properly locate the blunders, or learn from their own stupidity. The State Journal loves boys as well as any other seventythree year old newspaper can ; but the State Journal votes with both hands for this, from the Cincinnati Commercial : "The nuisance of firecrackers in the streets, which has heretofore been tolerated for a few days before and after the Fourth of July, ought to be abated at once. Its continuance ought to be punished with heavy penalties, if the guilty parties are caught, especially when life and limb are both endangered." The Democratic committee of Wayne county has declared against the proposed new Constitution, and made a partisan question of its adoption, and the Cincinnati Enquirer calls upon the Democracy in all of the other countieB to follow the euro pie, adding: "It has been clearly shown to be a partisan Constitution the design of which is to give the Republi-cans a majority in the General Assembly for all time to come, even when they are largely in the minority. The Legislative Apportionment with its unequal system no Democrat can sustain either in policy or principle. There are other things equally objectionable in it. It will be a dark day for the Democracy of Ohio when the new Constitution is put upon them." There is one important rule which should govern all of that large class of persons who feel disposed to appear in the public press in the character of censor. And that is this: The time for caution in all such cases is, before the attack is made. There are plenty of persons who charge with the elan of the Six Hundred and who suddenly become oppressed with prudential considerations when they discover that such charges provoke a return fire. TheBe prudential considerations, in such cases, come too late. Any writer with a proper capacity for forecast, will exhaust all such considerations before opening the assault. If he finds his courage weakening before the prospect of resistance or counter-assault, he had better join the baggage train. A mono the many accidents of the Fourth in Cincinnati, continued in Mon day's Commercial, we find the following : "A very distressing fatal accident happened on the evening of the Fourth at f. t t w ti. T n:-.. 1- rtt tne noma 01 mr. joiin i. nan, in sieves township. Mr. Piatt had returned from Washington the day before, and arrange ments had been made to have a little display of fireworks on the grounds lor the entertainment of his own and neighboring children. Mr. Piatt's son, a lad of ten or twelve years, had procured for himself a vial of powder.and in the dusk of the evening, as everything waa in progress for tbe pyrotechnic display, this powder waa exploded. The lad was stunned for a moment, but jumping up, exclaimed to niMUIV Uin IUVIUCI. , A 111 IU, U VII lj and immediately fell, the blood streaming profusely from his neck. An examination showed that a piece of the glass had entered the neck, severing the 'jugular vein. Another piece grazed the temple, another made a flesh wound in the chin. A physician was summoned post haste. i.:. in. k.. but before he arrived the boy was dead. In this sudden and great affliction the sympathies of thousands will go out to tbe disconsolate parents." "Words, words, words." The tongue of an archangel would sound but idle babble in tbe dumb amazement of each grief as the parents of this bright little hero must have felt. The Cincinnati Commercial laya itself out laboriously to establish the proposl tion that unchecked freedom of utterance by the press, and complete publio acru tiny into acts, measures and men, const! tute true republicanism; and it really pretends to believe that somebody objects to having public officers amenable to popular criticism in the newspapers, to re buke for official mistake, and to personal denunciation for what the people do not like. We venture to say that there is not a newspaper nor a man in America who will object to any fair and truthful criti cism of publio officers there is not an honest publio officer in America who does not invite such criticism. That which all honorable men object to is, that men of little knowledge and less character are employed by great newspapers in the most responsible work of reviewing National affairs; and that such men, through misconception, or a desire to' produce a Bensation, or from downright malice and mendacity, invent lies by thecolumn about public men lies which have not the remotest shadow of resemblance to truth, and 'which yet will travel leagueB while Truth puts his boots on. It is a weaK ana at me same uuie an atrocious thing for tbe Commercial to charge as it does that all "political organs" are base and servile flatterers of party men, and have no just criticism for the corrupt men or measures of party. The political organs of the country have given us much of the most potent criticism which the Commercial boasts of as the exclusive product of the Independent press. We will undertake to prove from the columns of the Commercial itself, that it has already admitted the fact as to tbe very instances given by it, that not one eingle "party organ" in the country had been found to defend the official dereliction of the persons named by it. It is uncandid for the Commercial writer to contradict the rec ord of his own journal in that style, and it is stupid to the last degree to lend him self to the vulgar pretenses and abuses of the booby presB like the New York Her ald which has just one faculty: the "old maid" faculty of running its nose into every affair, and telling more than all it knows about it. The party press, so far as it is controlled by men of sense and discretion, must work upon the assumption that the very existence of its party depends upon its own free exercise of the right to criticise the acts and measures of the public officers of its party. To hold otherwise is to iiiBult the honesty and intelligence of the people. If the people are honeBt and intelligent the party must be honest and its public officers must be honeBt, therefore its newspapers mnst be intelligent in crit icism and unsparing in invective against dishonest men who may have crept into public office through false pretenses. To read the Commercial's extraordinary article, one would suppose that any party organ (and party editors are always, by the same authority, the lowest of created beings in intelligence and manhood) has it in its power to gull Ihe people into supporting the worst men for office, and finds its interest in advocating party blunders and official misconduct of all kinds, for the success of the party. Tbe truth is, that party organs (and postmaster editors) find the only safety of the party in a rigid censorship of its acts and the acts of its public officers. They object, not to honeBt criticism from any quarter, but to dishonest lying from all quarters. They object to having newspapers which acknowledge no guidance but the will of some one man, and which are the mere exponents of his inhrmities or his strength, set themselves up as the only honest and public spirited journals in the country. Such a claim asserts in substance that the personal interest of one man, devoted to the business of journalism confessedly and solely as a mercantile venture, is a safer guide than the creed of a party, banded together for for the accomplishment of some great policy or the triumph of some great principle. If the party editor is true to his vocation he is more bound to honest criticism than the personal or "independent" editor, by just so much as that superiority of motive meas ures : If the lofty aims of a party, working for an assumed public good, are higher than the mere money-grubbing selfishness of a personal struggle for com mercial success in journalism, then the party editor has the higher and greater inducement, even if we consider the ques tion wholly as one of succeeB and good management for his party. The "inde pendent" organs are unconscious of the fact and cannot be made conscious of it that when they claim henesty on the score simply of disconnection from party, they are not putting the matter upon any higher plane than that of mere commer cial value. They will be honest if hones ty pays be3t that is all it amounts to. They will be governed entirely by success. Their creed is that the best newspaper is the one that pays best. We should like an honest answer to one plain question Did jou ever know one of these "independent" newspapers to be sinking its subscription list and ruin ing its owners by battling for the success of an unpopular matter of principle T What "independent" paper ever attacked slavery, in the old days when papers attacking slavery were excluded from the Southern mails, and when their offices were gutted and their editors sometimes murdered ? It waa the parly organs that fought for liberty then, just aa they have fought for every popular principle which has ever finally triumphed in America. Your "independent" journals come in with their cheerful observations after the "party" is strong enough to win elections and distribute patronage. Or, if they ever fight for a new party, it is such a mobilization of all the malcontents and soreheads aa the "Liberal" venture of 1872, and it has for its only object, as that had, the capture of the spoils. Pecuniary success is the great first cause and final great reward of "independent"journalism. Hire we have it. Mrs. Amea thinks Ohio sends the handsomest men to Wash' inirton. We hone she bases her opinion on the law that "Handsome is that hand some does." Toledo Blade. But suppose you base it upon appear ance. Take the Blade's member, General Sherwood, then come this way, pick up Foster, then Monroe, then Parsons, and then Garfield. These are fine looking men. We suppose Mrs. Amea was'speak-ing of Northern Ohio. She did not say that Ohio sends her handsomest men to Congress. Not by any means, so long as there are some we know of who are not in Congress, but she said that Ohio sends the handsomest men to Washington; tbat is, the handsomest men in Congress are from Ohio. Cleveland Herald. You talk like a blessed old baldheaded angel. But your acquaintance in Central Ohio seems limited. We should like to see a handsomer man than our Jewett, Then there are Sayler and Banning from Southern Ohio. Then, also, they have Sprague, and there is a proBpect of getting Durbin Ward. , ... PERSONS AND THINGS. The man who went to sleep on the railroad track found bis rest was a good deal broken and his leg, too. Quicksilver has been discovered in tbe mountains back of Boralitos, Santa Cruz county, Cal. Claims bave been located and a company has been formed to work one of them. These are the days when cherries are ripe, and you see small boys coming over board fences like lightning, and hear something strike "bang I" against the other side of the fence, just after they get over. "White coal" is the latest Australian discovery. It consists of felted cabbage fibres, like peat, which contain, interspersed between them, fine grains of sand. It is easily combustible, and burns with a bright flame. A French editor, anxious to show his knowledge of American history, gives the following account of the battle of Bunker Hill : "On the 17th of June, 1775, the American volunteers, commanded by Gen eral Artemus Ward, attacked and thoroughly beat the British troops near Charleatown, in Massachusetts !" The Prince of Wales at the recent din ner of the Benchers of tbe Middle Temple, ate his potatoes without peeling them. The circumstance has profoundly stirred the aristocratic circles of the British capital, as his Highness's aversion to potato skins is one of the most familiar facts of English history. Brooklyn Argvs. A gentleman living in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, under the influence of wine, undertook to kiss a couple of young ladies againBt their will. They retreated to the kitchen, whither he followed ; anl in bis Btruggle to get into the room, one of his legs caught in the door, and the excit ed young ladies amputated 11 Wltli a Baw. It was a wooden leg. A Brooklyn writer on street car cour tesies holds this opinion : "To vacate your place for every young thing who en ters who has been on a visitor shopping, and who will doubtless dance a hall dozen sets after she gets home is not gal-antry, but the air of an ntTecled fop or downright fool, and will never be per formed by a sensible man who tins done a hard day's work." A Chicagoan, whore heart is with Beecher, writes: "I want to see some comment on that business enterprise which caused an advertisement to be in serted in many newspapers to the effect that The Golden Age, containing a full account of its owner s domestic wrongs at the hands of Henry Ward Beecher, would be mailed from the publication office to any address on the receipt of ten cents I" The Hon. L. D. Wood worth, Repre sentative in Congress from the Seventeenth Ohio District, was renominated without opposition on Wednesday last. Mr. Wood worth had previously served two or three terms as a member of tbe Ohio Legislature, and isa rising man. In Congress he has been noted for his industry and faithful attention to business, which are the verv best qualities for a legislator. This Indorsement will accord him an ex cellent position in the House, and he well deserves it. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Here are a couple of conundrums which we find in the Evansville Journal, and pass along to our friends who are rusticating and have plenty of time to guess them : "How many of us yearn to pen etrate tbe inscrutable, and repair to the open vastitudes of the country to question the blue vaults studded with golden drops, or to hold the ocean of spirit with in us in communication with the expanse without? What! Shall the man who looks forward to his sumptuous repast detect the impress of the Infinite in the aroma of the water or the gigantic sigh- mgs of the forest? The romantic young son of a wealthy Chicago hotel proprietor, who married an actress and ran off with her to San Fran cisco, is in trouble. Some scoundrel had opened the trunks of the errant pair, ex tracted the gorgeous wedding apparel with which the expected to make a shine in the Golden City, and left nothing in their place but the smutted overalls and black ened shirt of some railway engineer or brakeman, a pile of old miner a clothes, cowhide boots out at the toes, and a hat without a rim. Masculine profanity, feminine shrieks, and a lawsuit resulted from the discovery. A professional gambler in Chicago recently "bucked the tiger" for fifty straight hours without pause for sleep or refreshments, and managed in that time to lose $11,900. The case is, perhaps, without a parallel. Though men have done many things for twentyfouror thirty hours at a stretch, no case ia before recorded of so long a labor. It shows, also, aa the Times remarks, "the absorbing power of gaming. One watching by the bedside of a dying- child would succumb in less than that period. A man who has the certainty of living but hMy hours would probably spend onefonrth of it in sleep, and would give due attention to his food. One escaping from a deadly foe would not fly for so long a time wilhont snatching now and then a momentary rest In short, one can conceive of no other circumstances in which a man would give fifty hours to a single task circumstances more especially which should tear the chie' actor with hope and fear, and harass him incessantly with the operation of the moat destructive emotions." NEW CONSTITUTION. Opinions of the Ohio Press Thereon The Ashland Times (Rep.) votes "yes." The Medina Gazette opposes license, but is silent as to other provisions. The Ashland Press (Dem.) goes against Ihe Constitution, and pronounces it a Iraud. - The Painesville Telegraph advises a carelul perusal of the document, out ex presses an opinion. The Manchester Gazette opposes license but expresses no opinion aa to the Const! tution. Oberlin News ditto. The Clyde Independent quotes and in dorses the Cincinnati Enquirer's reasons lor opposing the Constitution. The Mt. Vernon Banner (Dem.) aays the new Constitution will be the worst defeated candidate that ever ran in Ohio. The Norwalk Experiment opposes be cause, among other reasons, it "decidedly objects to the proposition to hold State elections but once in two years." The Holmes County Farmer, the editor of which has been at painB to figure on the matter, savs the people of Ohio will save three hundred thousand dollars a year by voting down the new Constitution. The Rrvan Preaa savs it mav be true as alleged, that the new Constitution is no better than the old, but this is owing to the fact that the old one was not susceptible of much improvement. "Still," says the Press, "so far as we are ante t j judge. the chances proposed are for the better, and the labors of the Convention merit the approval of the people." The Sidney Democrat commends the E revision that elections Bhall take place ut once in two years, and says if the new Constitution shall be adopted this ar rangement will save $25 for each election precinct, of winch there are ZoUU in the S ate, making a total saving of $62,000. The Bellefontaine Republican adds that the item of expense mentioned by the Democrat is only a drop in the bucket, compared with the time lost, in attending elecliona, and the expense of campaigns. To sum up, the attitude of one hun dred newspapers of the State with respect to the new Constitution, is, at the present date, as follows: FOR. Ohio Democrat, Dem., License.

Mr. B'echer b tr ends have a right to demand the whole letter. All I can say now is that that letter can be explained and will be. It has nothing to do with the so-called Woodhull-Tilton scandal. It re fers to a matter wholly outside of it and one open to the amplest explanation. When all the tacts come out tbe public will be more astounded than they are now excited. Mr. Beecher can explain any paper that any man holds ot his, and ex plain it in harmony with bis integrity-and honor. Mr. Til ton has been informed bv official men that if he will prefer charges against Mr. Beecher the church will at once act upon mem, wnoever tney may implicate.

July U Excitement runs high at Versailles. The Legitimist deputies to the number of It 0 have decided to vote against the Ministry to-morrow. They have drawn up an order of the day censuring the Government for its misuse of powers conferred by a state of siege, avoiding any mention of the manifesto of Count de Chambord or of tbe suppression of L' Union, so as to secure the sup port of the Left. The position of the Min istry is critical. It is thought that some changes will be unavoidable.

How Mules l ame Into Fashion. Few of the farmers of this country are aware what a depth of gratitude they owe George Washington for the introduction of mules into general use for farm pur poses. Previous to 1783, there were very few, and those of such an inferior order as to prejudice farmers againBt them as unfit to compete with hsrses in work upon the road or tarm. Consequently there were no jacks; but Washington became convinced that the introduction of mules generally among Southern planters would prove to them a great blessing, as they are less liable to disease, and longer lived. and work npon shorter feed, and are much less liable to be injured than horses by careless servants, As soon as it became known abroad that the illustrious Washington desired to stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules, the King of Spain sent him a jack and two jennets, from the Royal stables, and Lafayette sent another jack and two jennets from the island of Malta, The first was a gray color, 16 hands high, heavily made, and of sluggish nature. He was named the Royal Gift. The other was named tbe Knight of Malta; he was about as high, lithe, fiery, even to ferocity. Ihe two different sets of animals gave him the most favprable opportunity of making improvement by cross-breeding the result of which was the favorite jack. Compound, because he partook of the best points in both the originals. X lie ueneral bred bis blooded mares to these jacks. even taking those from his family coach for that purpose, and produced such superb mules that the country was all agog to breed some of the sort, and they soon became quite common. This was the ot ign of improved mules in the Unit ed States. There are now some of the third and fourth generation of Knight ot Malta and Koyal Uift to be found in Virginia, and the great benebt arising from their introduction to the country is to be seen upon every cultivated acre in the Sou thern States. A Colorado Pony. Yesterday, says a Southern Colorado paper, we saw a roan, a woman, a good-siaeil Imr, two bibies, five or six blankets a bulUlu lube, and twu strings of chili on a single pony. Every available inch from Ins ears to the root of his tail was "taken." Tbe poor animal was very small; thin as a towel rack; of a sickly pale color, and one fore leg was about five inches shorter than the other the knee joint of that leg waa very large, and we supposed that the missing Eart of tbe leg waa driven in there y the weight above, so that when it was relieved the leg would stretch out again like a turtle's head. In fact, nearly all his legs were short, and the crookedest convention of legs that we ever saw. laken altogether it was the most amusing hone and load we ever saw. Incred ible as it may seem, the wirv little ani mal passed us on a trot. When he came down on that short lee, and the familv "kerplumped" with it, it would have made the oldest man living laugh. Both the children were sleeping soundly, for the motion of the bom served all the purposes of cradle.

The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has issued tbe following circular relative to the treatment of horses during the heated term : The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would call attention to Buttering horses and mules in our Btreets during the hot season, and recom mend to drivers and others having animals under their cure the most considerate treatment, it would also recommend feeding a small bundle of wet hay or a couple quarts of oats in the middle of the day : use but little corn, as it is verv heat ing, and soak whatever is used in salt water for twenty four hours before feeding; to use the wet sponge on the head ; to furnish a little drinking water as often as practicable, when not over-heated, and as a further means of refreshing the animal. throw water upon the legsand such parts as are liable lochale by perspiration or otherwise; to driveslowly and lessen the load usually imposed in cooler weather; lo loosen the check-rein, or better, dis pense with it altogether; to cover the animal with a fly-net, or, preferable, with a light sheet. 1 he tallowing preparation is recommended for animals suflering from being over-heated : To one pint of water put one ounce of chloride of ammonia; one ounce of sweet spirits of nitre; one drachm tincture of aconite; give a table-spoonful every hour or two. On the passenger railroad lines the society would advise driving even walking, even when the weather is oppressive; to use the sponge aa above recommended, and to have men at proper distances along the line lo water the animals; to keep them shaded when practicable, and to provide extra horses to relieve the load on up grades. One of the best methods for cleaning whiit lace is to wash and rinse carefully t ll IV! 1 1 IT h n IIP I II lu. rftliBdnna lf . tlMi.. nudi of toft water and fine toilet voap.

Shake the cask daily until fermentation ceases; cork it tight, and by September it will be ready for uce,. but improves with age. This recipe has been followed for ten years aud never failed. Eural Southerner. The following recipe for destroying bugs and cucumber vines has been successfully tried for years. It is certainly worth atrial: Dissolve a tensponnful of saltpetre in a pailful of wa'er. Put one pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not spread much, and the thing is dono. Use more saltpetre if you can afford it. It is good for vegetables, but death to animal life. The bugs burrow in the earth at nhilit, and fail to rise iu the morning. It is alao good to kill the grub in peach trees, only use twice as much say a quart or two to . each tree. There was not a yellow nor blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to ' which it was applied last Beason. No danger of killing vegetables with it. A concentrated solution applied to young Deans mattes them grow wonderfully. The pretty rice paper that looks so pure and delicate is made in China from the pith of a tree; not at all aa we make paper from poplar wood, but by simply cutting it into thin slices. And thousands , of years before Moses was born the Egyptians made paper from the grea papyrus, or paper reed, by carefully peeling out the thin layer between the bark and the fleshy stem, and pressing and drying the pieces into sheets. ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. A Valuable Preen to ihe Aicrienl. tural College. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The Buckeye Manufacturing company, of Akron, Ohio, of which firm John R. Buchtel esq,, formerly a trustee of the Agricultural College, is a member, has prevented to the College a new Buckeye combined reaper and mower. The machine was immediately put to active service in a field of wheat on the College farm, where its work proved to be in the highest degree satisfactory. The i.r. r n. D..wa is very light, so that the team, while cutting, walked at their usual pace, apparently without effort. The platform is easily 'lowerid or raised by a hand-lever to adjust the rutting tu lodged or standing grain. Miller's improved table rake clears the platfc rm at the will of the driver and delivers the gavel absolutely without twist and in the beBt posBihle form for binding. As a reaper the Buckeye makes little noise, is not affected by the wind,wok admiiahly in lodged grain and i easily changed to a mower. In short, tbe Buckeye u a success. . N. 8.
